Midkine level may be used as a non-invasive biomarker in Crohn's disease.

CONCLUSION: We report that there is an association between MDK levels and CD activation, therefore with enhanced inflammation. MDK levels were significantly correlated with inflammatory indices. In line with our findings, we suggest the theory that MDK inhibitors may be useful in treating Crohn?s disease. PMID: 31905498 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
